This is the nicest DIY build I've seen.
Great work; from concept to execution.
Nice Citroen as well!

Great build thread! Love the execution and use of space! Did you consider having the back door fold down and use that as your steps instead of the ladder?

Thanks,
I was thinking about 3 possibilities:

I decided to put the hinges at the top to avoid getting the dirt inside (when closing the door), because you always have dirt on the steps. And if they are clean, a part of the door is in the dirt. If it rains or if the ground is wet then.... with other words, keep the ladder outside.
The second reason was, I wanted the possibility to stand outside and use the stove and the water/sink inside just putting the ladder away from the door

Very impressive. I see you got the panels from a manufacturer not too far from me here in Australia. Were they shipped over to you for a custom order? Or is there a supplier over there?

You will find panel productions in Europe, North America and Australia after a short search in the net. They are used by all manufactures who build refrigerated trucks and waggons/trailors/shelter.

I know the Vanglass guys and have been to their factory. There are many manufacturers here using their product or those from Styromax. I just thought it would be expensive to ship those panels from Australia to Germany.

Wonderful build with a great attention to detail.

How have you strapped the spare wheel to your drawbar? Does the wheel sit in a frame or just on the A-frame? Also is it bolted to a vertical support? Thanks.
